Princesses on Parade

Since it is July 4, Marina dressed patriotically. She chose a sparkly blue tank top and a sparkly red skirt. She wore long white socks and topped it all off with a sequined tiara in red, white and blue

We went to a neighborhood parade. Our favorite princesses have their storefront there and we knew they would be a part of the parade. We arrived early and were able to find a good parking place. We also managed to sit under the shade of a tree until the parade began.

We moved closer to the street when the parade got started. We ended up sitting by two girls who we had met at the Mermaid Meet and Greet on Friday. The girls all got along nicely. Throughout the parade they shared the candy thrown their direction and Marina even let one of them use her parasol.
A little more than halfway through the parade, the Wands and Wishes princesses came by. Anna spotted Marina and greeted her with a warm hug. Of course, all the other girls wanted hugs after that!

Once the parade was over, I got Marina a watermelon popsicle and we walked through the small fair they had set up. In front of the princesses location were the characters from the parade. We met up with Moana, Jasmine, Ariel and Anna, who spent a while talking with Marina. She made a wish with Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. Then we got photos with Captain America and Wonder Woman.
